History
Rokusho Jinja, situated in Shimomaruko along the Tamagawa River, is a rare shrine that enshrines six deities together as one. This location has long thrived as a vital crossroads, where many people have come and gone throughout history. Rokusho refers to the venerable practice of enshrining multiple deities within a single shrine, with each deity possessing their own divine blessings. These honored deities work in concert to protect and bless the worshippers. On this fertile land blessed by the bounty of the Tamagawa River, there is a long history of continuous prayer for the peace and development of the community.
